I've got to say, I've been Knowshon's biggest fan but you cannot argue with the work he's done this year. This story gives you kind of a behind-the-scenes look at Knowshon's resurgence on the field and his maturity and development off of it.

This a joke?

On another note, the article was very well written. The guy I knew in high school wasnt that immature guy he was in his first couple years in the NFL. Hes a really good guy and works his butt off.

This is a joke?

Running back is the number two position in my mind where confidence is key to success behind QB. I think in knowshons second year when he started to struggle he was just trying to force great runs rather than to be patient and let the plays develop. He point blank tried to do too much. I've been impressed with how much of a duel threat knowshon has been. Sometimes a rb or a qbs may be afraid to fail or pressing to make a play and it gets worse and worse becoming like a quick sand situation._________________Props to Deadpulse for the Sig:

It just seems to me that Fox and friends are not really "Young RB friendly". One mistake can get you on the bench, drastic reduction in field time and even demotions to inactive.

When you're a kid, if you get thrown off a horse your dad puts you back on, fall off a bike, same thing. Fall off your horse in Denver and they take the horse away.

What? Hillman has made a lot of mistakes since the pre-season and same with Ball. These two make too many mistakes to stay on the field. It wasn't one mistake that cost them, it was like 3-4._________________

My understanding is they're both quite acceptable in pass-pro. If that's not true, please correct me.

That is definitely false. They have gotten better but it's not like they are good enough at it to make up for those mistakes.

I would play Hillman before Ball. Ball seems like he wouldn't just fail on the Broncos but on any team. I don't like him as a runner or anything else a RB has to do._________________

Let me set the record straight... ALL running backs are capable of pass protecting. The ones that are good at it, separate themselves by commitment.

Pass protection is all based on committing to bashing your head against a guy coming full speed at you. You have to be crazy and stupid. Younger running backs are used to running at people and hitting them, not sitting back and wait till you get hit. They're usually just not taught it at a young age because those offenses dont pass that much. However, its one position where you can learn that skill very quickly, you just need the guy to be committed to it._________________

I think it was a little more than one mistake with both Knowshown in the past and Hillman this year. Going to the bench seems to have worked wonders for Moreno. Lets hope it does the same for Hillman. Personally I would have sent Hillman to the bench a lot sooner.

I wasn't the biggest fan of Montee Ball's as an NFL prospect, but i have really liked what i have seen from him in his few carries this season. I don't think Denver's offensive system is the greatest fit for him, but possibly post Manning he could be a very good RB for Denver. I think he's a better fit in a west coast offense. With that, i also think Brock Osweiler would be a great fit in that type of system as well.

Yeah, I think John Elway, for the most part, drafts towards the "Osweiler era".

That is, if he can find a day one impact player, he'll take him, but if not, he won't reach on an NFL ready inferior prospect, but will take a guy with potential.

in particular, most of the guys that are still on the roster, were seen as pretty raw coming out. We're starting to reap the benefits of those two tight end pickups now. JT is the flashy one of course but Virgil Green is quietly putting together his best season so far.

I think the idea is to develop these guys at their own pace, and then when Manning leaves we'll have a lot of high skill picks ready to take over.

Ball and Hillman have the skillset to be one of the best 1-2 punches in the league but their big time benefit will come in 2-3 years when we have Brock running the West coast offense. Hand it to Ball, hand it to Ball again, then fake it to Hillman and chuck it up to Bay-Bay, or fling a screen pass to Hillman for 20 yards kinda thing._________________
